Tips on how to find your IMEI, Serial Number, or Digital SIM IMEI:

  • If you have an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > General > About. Look for one of the following options:
    • AVAILABLE SIM
    • ESIM
    • The name / label you assigned to your eSIM, along with IMEI or IMEI2 beneath it.

Please note the Digital SIM (eSIM) capability may vary based on the iPhone model.

  • For iPhones 12, the IMEI2 is eSIM capable.
  • For iPhones SE 3rd Gen, 13, & 14, & 15, the IMEI and IMEI2 are both eSIM capable. (The Straight Talk’s iPhone models 13 & SE 3rd Gen, only the IMEI2 is eSIM capable)

*Currently, we only support eSIM activation for these iPhone models: 12, 13, SE 3rd generation, and 14 and 15.

  • If you have an Android device, go to Settings > About Device (or About Phone) > Status. Some devices have an extra step: IMEI information.

Note: You can also find your Digital SIM IMEI by entering *#06# on your keypad.

  • If you have a Straight Talk feature phone, go to Menu > Prepaid > Serial Number.

We’re sorry!

You can bring your number to Tracfone!

In order to send you a brand new SIM card, you will need to provide us with some information. If you prefer to get a new phone number, please contact your current service provider to disconnect your service before activating with Tracfone.

Four Ways to Find Your Carrier

  • Reboot your phone. The screen should display the carrier's name as it powers back on.
  • If your phone does not display a carrier name, you may have an unlocked device. You can search online to determine if your device is GSM or CDMA capable.
  • Refer to your phone's manual or contact your previous service provider to find out which network your phone is/was using.
  • If your service was active, there are some free online tools to help find your carrier by entering your phone number.        

Our system shows that your phone will not work with Tracfone’s service. Do you have another handset you would like to try? Or you can always check out our phone store to see what's available for purchase.
